type in the world market today. It incorporates the

and shoot.

LOADING FILM (Fig.4-6)
Pull down the back cover release latch (12) and swing
open the back cover. Insert the 35 mm film cassette
into the film chamber (11). Do not force it in. If the
cassette does not fit easily, turn the rewind shaft (141
slightly so that it engages with the film cassette spool.
Put the film leader over the take-up drum so the tip of
the leader aligns with the arrow mark at the top and
bottom of the drum (19) and close the back cover.
Open the lens cover by sliding the lens cover button (3)
towards the arrow. Depress the shutter release button
(1). The film will advance automatically. Repeat until
the figure "1" appears in the filmxounter window (9).
The film is now in position for the first picture.
FILM SPEED SETTING (Fig. 7)
This camera accepts films with speeds ISO 100/200,
400, 1000. Slide the film speed setting lever (5) to the
speed of the film in use.

FILM DRIVE CONFIRMATION (Fig. 8)
The film drive confirmation window (8) has a disc
inside which will rotate to show you that film is loaded
and ^vancing properly. However please remember that
the film inside the new film cassette may be loaded
somewhat loosely, and the disc may not rotate until the
slack has been taken up. The disc should begin to rotate
after a few exposures.
COMPOSE YOUR PICTURE (Fig. 9)
Look through the viewfinder (17) and compose your
picture. Keep at least 1.2 meters (about 4 ft) from your
subject and have the sun behind you. Hold the camera
firmly with both hands to prevent camera shake.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY (Fig 10-12)
When you take indoor pictures, or outdoor pictures in
poor lighting conditions, the low light warning lamp
(16) will glow when shutter button is depressed half¬
way, in this case, set the flash switch (6) to "ON". When
the flash is charged enough to take a picture the flash
ready li^t (15) will glow.
The main subject should be within the following range
from the camera: approx. 1.2 to 4 meters.

AUTOMATIC REWIND & UNLOADING
CAMERA (Fig. 13,14.15)
When you finish the last exposure of the film and when
the motor does not function when the shutter button is
depressed, push the rewind button (10) towards the
arrow and even when the counter returns to "S'* keep
the rewind button pushed for a few more seconds.
NOTE; Rewind button must be kept pushed while
rewinding.
When the film has been rewound into its film cassette,
open the back cover and take out the film cassette and
send it for processing without delay. The film counter
automatically reverts to the starting point (marked "S").

FLASH-IN-FOCUS SYSTEM
Most popular cameras are of the fixed focus type which
is relatively simple to use but close subjects and far
distances will be out of focus. The zone focus system
eliminates this drawback but in many cases the user
mis-handles the camera by taking a far distance subject
with the lens set at near distance or vice versa.
The FLASH-IN-FOCUS SYSTEM incorporates the
good features of both systems and it eliminates the
drawbacks.
Now with the FLASH-IN-FOCUS SYSTEM, for normal
photography, subjects from 1.2 meters (about 4 ft) to
infinity are in sharp focus and for near distances which
are limited to flash photography it automatically moves
the focus point so that subjects from 1.2 meter to 4
meters are in focus. The focus point is changed inter¬
nally by a very unique optical system.
WARNING:
To avoid any risk of electrical shock, do not attempt to
take the camera apart. Because we continually strive to
improve our products we may change specifications
without notice.
